National health? Yes, please!

Although most of my posts suggest I live in Voltaire's garden, in retreat from the worst of all possible worlds, that isn't the case at all....

A wave of support for Britain's NHS on Twitter to counteract the lies being vomited out by the astro-turfing for-profit American disease industry (it certainly isn't about health care) and their ignorant army of teabaggers. Have you heard any of these Republican psychos at the congressional town halls? Amplified by the bullshit media, the little fascists are sadly trumping the 50 million Americans who don't have health insurance, the many more who have tenuous employment-based insurance, and the ever sky-rocketing costs we all face.

Are the shits going to keep us from having a health care system that puts people's health before profits?

yep, I am one of those 50 million. Self-employed and with hardly any coverage. Hoping for a change....
